JSN 3 TDs as Seahawks Crush Cardinals

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-7 road win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. The scores covered 82, 7, and 12 yards. It was the first three-touchdown game of his NFL career and the longest TD catch of that career on the opening strike.

Drew Lock started in place of injured Sam Darnold and finished 19 of 26 for 235 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Lock hit Smith-Njigba in stride on the second offensive snap for that 82-yard bomb, then found him twice more after the break. Seattle improved to 2-0 and stretched its franchise-record winning streak to 12 games, postseason included.

Arizona managed one early touchdown, a Jacoby Brissett pass to Trey McBride on fourth-and-goal from the 2. After that the Cardinals totaled three first downs across six full drives, with five punts and an interception. Emanuel Wilson led Seattle's ground game with 21 carries for 91 yards. Julian Love added another pick.

Fantasy rooms that started JSN after his 122-yard Week 1 just got the ceiling night. Three scores and 155 yards is the profile you drafted. Soft note only: Lock handled the starter snaps cleanly while Darnold heals. Do not invent a permanent Lock takeover from one clean afternoon. Do bank Smith-Njigba as the offense's engine either way.

Seattle's defense slammed the door after the early McBride score. Price's fumble briefly handed Arizona midfield, and the Seahawks still forced a three-and-out. That stamp, plus JSN's deep ball, turned Glendale into a Seattle homecoming.

State Farm final

Seahawks 31, Cardinals 7. JSN three times. Twelfth straight win.

Eighty-two yards early. Two more after half. Seattle stays rolling.
